Moving On...

Dear blog,

As time has gone by, I know I have ignored you, but I've come to realize that I've changed and you sadly have not. I'm coming to a time in my life, where I plan to return to blogging, but you don't give me the options and flexibility I need.

So to all my followers, I'm moving on to another more flexible blogsite.

You can now find me here: http://digitaldreamn.wordpress.com

A Declaration...

Never has the birth of this nation been portrayed more elegantly.
(in my opinion)

In this one scene you begin to realize just what one piece of paper meant to the meant to the men who founded this country...


What would they think of it now...




If you have not seen 1776, I highly suggest it.

As Time Goes By…

Life is flying by me at an astounding speed. Indeed, it feels like I’ve been living in Hollywood the majority of my adult life (let’s face it, I have, why it seems like I’ve been here 10 years instead of three I have no idea). I look back fondly on my time in Michigan and often feel that it was in other life time…

Time. Such an interesting concept. Our lives revolve around a clock, round-and-round we go, faster and faster and until the at last we reach the time when our time on Earth is to end…

"I'm Letting Go"

Throughout my life, I’ve found that what I’m going through can often be summed up in a song. If you go back to one of my first blog posts, you’ll notice the presence of songs to help describe what I was going through.
I’ve come to another time in my life when a song sums up what I could say… what I’m feeling.

Francesca Battistelli’s I’m Letting Go

My heart beats, standing on the edge

But my feet have finally left the ledge

Like an acrobat

There’s no turning back

Chorus

I’m letting go

Of the life I planned for me

And my dreams

Losing control

Of my destiny

Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe

So I’m letting go

This is a giant leap of faith

Trusting and trying to embrace

The fear of the unknown

Beyond my comfort zone

Chorus

I’m letting go

Of the life I planned for me

And my dreams

Losing control

Of my destiny

Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe

So I’m letting go

Giving in to Your gravity

Knowing You are holding me

I’m not afraid

Feels like I’m falling and that’s what it’s like to believe

Feels like I’m falling and this is the life for me

And now, I know I’m in the center of His Will for my life…

Good News Folks!

I "updated" my Flickr with some new stuff... hopefully I'll remember to keep updating it ;-)

For those who are interested... A collection of my ever growing YouTube videos. Enjoy.

Of a Bygone Era…

Of all the ideas that became the United States, there is a line here that is at the heart of all the others. "But when a long train of abuses and years of patience perusing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right it is their duty to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security." People don't talk that way anymore...
~ Benjamin Gates, National Treasure ~

As we approach our National elections, one phrase continually pulses through my mind: “People don’t talk that way anymore.” It’s such a simple phrase, spoken after reading a portion of the Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Gates, though a fictitious character, got it right. No one talks that way anymore. Perhaps that’s what’s wrong.

A few weeks ago for several nights my parents and I watched John Adams, a TV movie series that HBO did several months ago. As I watched, that phrase pulsated through my mind. Our founding fathers suffered, fought and died for what we now enjoy.
The men (and woman) who fought for this country, who founded this country… many would rather erase them from history, or so distort their memory that they are only shadows of their former selves. These men and woman are my ancestors. My ancestors. I can’t help but feel anger and impatience toward those who wish to see this country harm, or to change the very principles upon which this country was founded. There are those in this country who wish to take away our freedoms. These same people want to take way the very principles, which this country was founded. They wish to remove God; God who was at the core of our foundation of this great country.

Call me a radical, but I do not want to see this country so destroyed by these people that we loose sight of what this country was founded on. This country was founded on Godly principles; it was founded with God at the center. It’s time we went back to our founding principles… And well…

As C.S. Lewis said: “Aslan is on the move.”
